This is likely an elementary question, but I am having a challenge to get the formula for the Count of Children when I have the formula, for example, in a column B cell and I want to count the children of column A. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Cindy,
I don't know what you are doing wrong because i can't see your formula
Here is my example. =COUNT(CHILDREN(A1))
I hope this helps you!

Thank you so much.
That worked, duh.
Now one more a little trickier:
Column "Month" is the parent. The children include names and other contact details for people who have filled out an online form to RSVP to a class.. RSVP is a column and each child has populated "Yes, No, or Maybe".
Currently my formula for the RSVP is: =COUNTIF(RSVP473:RSVP511, "Yes")
But, this requires me to constantly maintain the formula settings (e.g. rows 473 through row 511) each month as RSVP's come in.
How can I get a count of "Yes" RSVP's based on the children of Parent "Month" (row 472)
Hi again Cindy,
Happy to help!
Heres for the trickier one.

As a basic outline, I have column 1, 2, and 3. Columns 1 and 2 list 4 identical options: A, B, C, D in a drop down menu. Essentially, I would like column 3 to calculate/display the difference between columns 1 and 2, removing a duplicate. For example: Column 1: A, B, C, and D are selected in the drop down Column 2: B is…
I need the formula to get the text from the next row in a specified column. I am creating the formula in row 2 in a column named 'Next' and want it to bring back the data from column 'Test' in row 3. This is what I have tried so far but getting #unparseable error. =INDEX(Test:Test, row() , +1) =INDEX([Test]:[Test], row() ,…
I have a formula that is currently working (see below); I need to add a condition, from a specific Column (Study Status)-that if it equals a particular choice ("Study Ongoing - Follow up"), that it doesn't even bother looking at this formula and automatically turns the FLAG off. Furthermore, I'll need to have several…
